About the Book
After ten years of blogging, Emily Kemme began to notice a change in her posts. Voicing her individuality had evolved from what some people labeled a troublesome personality trait into self-assurance, which she now applies daily to a variety of situations. Whether it’s managing wayward collies, home remodeling, cooking dinner, or raising young adults with a strong sense of who they are and where their life path could take them, this book offers humor, solace, and solid advice.
My Review
Parenting is hard. So is writing. Yet somehow, Emily Kemme manages to do both – and with aplomb. I was not familiar with her writing prior to being asked to review her latest book, but eagerly signed on to read it once I learned a little more about her and her work. This is a series of fun (and funny – but more in the heart-warming vein than the snarky one that seems to encapsulate my own parenting stories) essays about the trials, tribulations, and immense rewards of running a household, raising children, being married/partnered, and attempting to maintain sanity (and grace) through it all. The pieces are very short and easy to read. Her writing style is conversational. Reading the book is like sitting with a friend, delightfully sharing the highs and equally delightfully commiserating over the lows of daily life as a parent. It’s great fun and a quick read – and a fabulous distraction from your own life for a while…
Thanks to the author and publisher for my obligation-free review copy.
